Two Guys Trade Different Colored Car Hoods To Make Their Vehicles Complete, People Can’t Believe It’s A Coincidence

The strangest coincidences can lead to you having a complete life and believing in fate. But the last place you’d expect to find fulfillment and destiny is browsing through car ads on social media.

Someone posted an ad on Facebook, offering to trade the yellow hood of their white truck for a hood that would match the vehicle. Well, one person posted a picture in the thread of their yellow truck with a white hood, and the internet went nuts.

People couldn’t believe this was just a coincidence and suggested the two trade hoods to make both their cars complete. Now, the Facebook thread is making rounds far and wide on the internet, and people are loving it.

One internet user thought that the story was a great metaphor for relationships where two people complete each other. Another told of a similar story involving a red Mustang with a blue door and a blue Mustang with a red door.

Naturally, we couldn’t have a thread like this without some obligatory comments of this being “still a better love story than Twilight.” Here’s a fun fact: the first Twilight film was released 11 years ago and people are still talking about it.

Social media and sites like Craigslist might be convenient to sell things that you no longer need, but there are some risks involved. Fortunately, there are precautions you can take to make sure you don’t get scammed, especially when you’re selling something like a car.

To start things off, make sure that you filter out scammers and swindlers by calling up the potential buyer on the phone and trust your gut on this: if your instinct says that something’s wrong, something probably is. Also always meet buyers in ‘safe zones’ where there are plenty of people and video cameras around.

What’s more, agree to sell your car for cash; only accept checks if you and the buyer both meet at the bank and have a teller confirm the transaction. Another piece of advice is one that’s great for life in general, not just selling cars: don’t be overeager or desperate because you’ll be likely to sell quickly and ignore huge mistakes lying in wait.
